Chapter 388 Eternal Night Tailor Shop
"Ruanruan, why don't we go ask the shop next door?" Bao Mengyi said.
Chu Runrun nodded and walked into the milk tea shop.
"Miss, where is the Yongye Clothing Store?" Chu Runrun asked.
"Eternal Night Clothing Store? I've never heard of it!" said the girl in the milk tea shop.
"It's at No. 18, Changping Road. You're at No. 17, but why is there a wall next to it?" Chu Runrun frowned.
"This wall was like this when I opened the shop. Behind the wall is a family's yard. You can go around from the street at the back and ask. Maybe someone knows where it is!" said the girl.
"Okay! Thank you!"
After asking for directions, Chu Runrun ordered three cups of milk tea to thank the girl, and then followed the route the girl told and went around the back street.
As she said, there was indeed a family there. Behind the house was an old bungalow. It looked a bit old from the outside, but there were many flowers and plants in front of the door, which gave it a sense of elegance.
"No. 18 Changping Road, isn't that a clothing store? How could it be a residence?" Bao Mengyi asked in confusion.
"You'll know after you go in and take a look."
Chu Ruanruan walked over and knocked on the door. Not long after, a voice was heard.
"Who is it?"
As the sound got closer, the door opened and a young man, probably in his twenties, walked out.
"Are you guys going to make clothes?"
"Making clothes?" Chu Runrun frowned and looked at the man.
"Aren't you making clothes?"
"We would like to ask where the Yongye Clothing Store is?" Chu Ruanruan asked.
"I don't know where the Yongye Clothing Store is, but this is the Yongye Tailor Shop. If you want to buy some clothes, there are some suitable ones there." The man said with a smile.
"A tailor shop?"
Chu Runrun narrowed her eyes and looked back at Chi Longfei, who nodded slightly.
"Then let's go in and see if you have any suitable clothes."
"Please come in."
The man opened the door and welcomed the three people in.
After entering, Chu Runrun discovered that this seemingly dilapidated old house actually has a different world.
The furnishings inside are very elegant and have an antique charm. There is also a small pavilion, and near the corner of the house is a beautiful peach tree.
"Your tailor shop is very elegantly decorated." Chu Runrun smiled deeply.
"You misunderstood. This shop belongs to my master. I am just an apprentice. He also arranged the yard himself."
"Your master? The tailor?"
"That's right."
As they were talking, the man had already led Chu Ruanruan and the others into the house. There were many exquisite cheongsams and ancient costumes hanging in the house, as well as some modern clothes, but all of them incorporated elements of ancient costumes.
"The clothes in your house are quite special." Chu Ruanruan said.
"These are all handmade by the master craftsmen. They are different from those produced by machines on the market. Of course, they are special."
The man poured them a cup of tea and said, "Please sit down for a while. I'll go get the master to come down."
After saying that, the man went upstairs.
Chu Ruanruan looked at Chi Longfei and whispered, "Do you feel something is wrong?"
Chi Longfei nodded: "You felt it too."
"There is no evil spirit, nor is it a monster, and the clothes are normal, but I always feel something is not right." Chu Runrun said.
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard upstairs.
A man in a blue suit, neatly tied, and glasses walked down.
"Are you going to make clothes?"
The man's peach blossom eyes looked at the three people with a hint of alienation and indifference.
When his eyes fell on Chu Ruanruan, for some reason, Chu Ruanruan felt that he paused for a few more seconds.
"It's me." Chu Ruanruan said.
"Come with me and measure your size." The man said calmly.
"Master, won't you ask me what kind of clothes I want?" Chu Runrun said with a smile.
"If you come to me to make clothes, you have to follow my rules. I know what kind of clothes suit you at a glance, no need to say anything more."
"You are such a weird chef. What if the customer doesn't like the food you make and doesn't pay for it? Then all your work will be in vain, right?" Bao Mengyi said.
"No guest who comes to my place has ever said that they don't like it." The man said calmly.
"Master is so confident, I'd like to see it for myself."
As she spoke, Chu Ruanruan walked over.
The man took a tape measure and measured Chu Ruanruan's body.
"Master, is business good here?" Chu Runrun asked calmly.
“Not many people come, but it’s enough to keep us fed and well fed.”
"I saw a friend wearing clothes from the Evernight Clothing Store. I wonder if you made them?"
"Are you here to inquire about the information?" The man suddenly stopped measuring the size.
"No, I saw that friend had nice clothes, so I asked him for his address. I don't know if I got the wrong one."
"What kind of clothes? Can you show me?"
Chu Ruanruan handed the man the photo of the clothes: "A black windbreaker with a strange pattern on it."
The man glanced at the photo and said, "I did it."
Chu Ruanruan's eyes narrowed slightly. "What does the pattern on this piece of clothing mean? Why did you make such a piece of clothing for him?"
"I've said before that I alone can tell what kind of clothes suit the customers who come to my shop best. The man you're talking about is shrouded in darkness.
He was born to blend in with darkness, and black suits him best. As for this pattern, I saw it by chance and embroidered it," the man said.
"By chance? Where?"
“Forgot!”
The man took back the ruler and recorded Chu Ruanruan's size in the notebook.
Chu Runrun took a look at the size and height recorded by the man. The measurements were exactly the same, but he clearly didn't measure the waist just now.
"Master, your eyes are so sharp that you can even measure waist circumference with your eyes!" Chu Runrun said with a smile.
The man paused slightly and said, "The clothes will be ready tomorrow. Come pick them up at the same time."
After saying that, the man went upstairs.
Chu Ruanruan looked at the man's back and felt that he seemed familiar.
"Ruanruan, why don't you ask him again?" Bao Mengyi said.
"No need. If he doesn't say anything, there's no point asking." Chu Ruanruan said coldly.
"So what should we do now? Should we just give up like this?"
"Let's go back first and come back tomorrow." Chu Runrun said.
Upstairs, the tailor who had just been there stood by the window, watching Chu Ruanruan leave with a gentle look in his eyes.
"Master, are you okay?" the apprentice asked cautiously.
The man actually smiled: "A thousand years have passed, and she hasn't changed at all, not even her waistline is the same."
"Master, how do you know her waist size?" asked the apprentice.
The man chuckled, "Measured by hand."
Apprentice: “Huh?”
"Ah what? While I still have time, take out the fabric I've been saving. I want to make her another dress."
"Master, your spirit has not yet fully recovered, and the Right Underworld Envoy is... you'd better return quickly, in case you are discovered..."
The man turned around and looked at the apprentice with cold eyes: "Yuncang, you are meddling too much."
"Master, please forgive me. I will get it right away."
After saying that, Yuncang retreated.
